Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00195 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00078 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00039 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00019 |
Grade A, and why
process-lifecycle scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Process lifecycle
- On Windows, process identity is PID plus creation time. Verify it while holding the handle through tree termination, and do not reap legacy rows without identity.
- Unix process-group liveness does not require the original leader.
- On Darwin, EPERM means an empty or zombie-only group only in the termination path, not in liveness checks.
- Every
exec.Cmdgoes throughplatform.AdaptCommandbeforeStart. - A foreground timeout adopts the same process into the existing pool; never restart it through a second scheduler.
- Background starts and adoptions cannot promise that daemon descendants close inherited pipes.
- Process-group changes require real macOS tests.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

process-lifecycle is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository coddy-project/coddy-agent (175 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 195 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-05.
